Very dated
The hotel is very dated. The rooms need to be completely renovated and brought into the 21st century! Our room overlooked a coach station and dustbins. There was a very loud generator sound during the night. No glasses for water in the rooms, pillows were awful with no pillow protectors and overall quite a disappointing standard. On a plus, the hotel was in a good location and within walking distance to the shopping centre, cafes and restaurants. Car park onsite was always available at an additional cost of $27 per night.

Its close to central city shopping and dining precinct but rhats where the good points end. This hotel is outdated in all aspects. Used Room service food was left in the hallway for just over 8 hours. Customer service was not helpful, bed was the worst i have slept on with springs poking us in our backs. Breakfast very dissapointed with quality if food eggs were like rubber. Will not be staying here again
